Hey everyone every Monday 6pm PST Evel Dick Donato from Big Brother, other former racers and I do an Amazing Race recap www.RTVzone.com if you missed past recaps there is an archive. We also have a video mailbag where you can submit any questions you may have. We love to here from TAR fans.

In my pack I tried to carry as little as possible. I knew I could bring 4 different types of bottoms for both hot and cold weather and a some tank tops. I mostly wanted to makes sure we had stuff in layers and snacks that we could eat if we only had a chance to eat on a cab ride. There are things like a head lamp, compass, goggles, watches even all the way down to the type of back pack that we thoroughly researched to carefully put everything together.

We do not get a specific list from the producers. We get a vague list from them and the rest is up to you. I am not joking when I say this but the race starts as soon as you pick your partner.

I have learned this about being on the race. When you travel even in general there are a lot of things you pack that you don't even touch. So, I definitely learned that most of the time while traveling you wear the same thing A LOT! I don't know if that answers your question but I hope it helps

Also, what about logos and brands of shirts and hats? Do they prohibit certain brands or logos?

Not a racer, but I wanna comment on this.This season, the Chippendales wear shirts that say that they're affiliated with the company (not sure if those are shirts you can get from their store, if they have one).Trey/Lexi are wearing Longhorns apparel, and production doesn't blur out the almighty longhorn emblem. The Beekman boys sport shirts that say the name of their farm/company.

So I would say if the racers are directly affiliated with the logo/brand, then TPTB doesn't blur those things out?

Same could be said with the globetrotters in Season 15/18.

just dance~*~I don't understand the question, and I won't respond to it.

Logos have to be approved, and no large corporate logos are permitted. Affilitiated schools etc seem okay, dont know if TPTB get approval for those or not.

I see Chips with the red ERKE brand singlets and blue nike brand shirts? I was thinking wow... that was obvious. It's like, they got a secret agreement with these companies to don on their tees and race!! Obviously not, but.. I thought they wouldn't be allowed?

I am going to speculate that World Race Productions provides all needed cold weather gear for all teams left in the race just for the duration of the cold weather part of their race. That type of clothing is bulky and would slow down every team if they had to carry it themselves.
